FAQ

Questions & Answers

How does the subscription work?

Once subscribed, you submit design requests and I work through them based on your priority. Revisions are always included.

What if I only have one project?

That works too. You can subscribe for a single month, get your project done, and pause or cancel. No long-term commitment required.

Who does the work?

Me — David Elliott. You're working directly with a senior designer with 15+ years of experience. No outsourcing, no junior handoffs.

How do I submit requests?

Once you subscribe, you'll get access to a shared GitHub project board where you can submit, track, and prioritize your requests. You can also share via email, Loom, or Figma links — whatever works best for you.

What tools do you use?

Figma for design, Astro/HTML/CSS/React for development. For project management I use GitHub, and for communication I use Slack, Loom, and email.

Can I pause or cancel?

Absolutely. You can pause your subscription at any time and pick back up when you're ready. Billing cycles are based on a 31-day period, so you won't lose any unused days.

What's not included?

Complex full-stack application development, 3D animation, and video production are outside the scope. If you're unsure, just ask — I'm happy to discuss.

Do you offer refunds?

Due to the nature of the work, I don't offer refunds. However, you can pause or cancel at any time, and I'm committed to making sure you're happy with the output.
